EEPORT. 



The object of this Association is indicated by its name. It 
had its origin in a public meeting held in this city a little more 
than a year ago. That meeting was called in response to earn- 
est appeals made to northern philanthropy by Gen. Sherman, 
then at the head of our land forces in South Carolina, and Com- 
modore, now Admiral, Dupont, the victorious commander of our 
fleet in the bay of Port Royal. The meeting,— which had for its 
chairman Bishop Potter, and was addressed by Dr. Tyng,of New 
York, and others, — adopted a series of resolutions, one of which 
was as follows : 

"That a permanent Committee of fifteen be appointed, with power to 
add to their number whose business it shall be to receive and forward to 
their destination contributions in food, clothes and other articles, and to 
adopt such further measures for the benefit of the freed blacks in the Sea 
Islands, as they may deem expedient." 

The Committee thus appointed, constitutes, with some slight 
changes and additions, the Association, which now presents its 
Annual Report. 

There had been previously started in Boston and Kew York 
two other Associations similar in character. By means of these, 
with the sanction of the Government, a corps of superintendents 
and teachers, for service at Port Royal, had been promptly or- 
ganized. The business of the former was to be the oversight and 
direction of the labor of the people ; that of the latter exclusive 
devotion to the work of instruction ; the whole to be under the 
direction of Ed. L. Pierce, Esq., special agent of the Treasury 
Department. 

These parties had nearly all reached the ground by the time 



our Philadelphia Committee was fairly organized. Thej were 
followed soon after by a benevolent lady of this city, Miss Laura 
Towne, who, under our auspices, but at her own charges, has, from 
that time to the present, devoted herself enthusiastically to this 
philanthropic work. 

The blacks on the island were found, as Commodore Dupont 
and General Sherman had represented them, in a state of great 
destitution ; their scant clothing was in rags, and starvation 
stared them in the face. Our Committee was advised that the 
best step they could take would be to ship at once, for their im- 
mediate relief, a supply of food and raiment ; " the same which 
we were also forward to do." With funds placed in our hands 
by friends who had been appealed to, we sent out a shipment 
of food costing upwards of ??1,000, and consisting of bacon, fish 
and molasses, besides several cases of clothing, most of it new 
and part of it furnished us by voluntary contribution. 

The distribution of these articles, which Avas kindly superin- 
tended by our faithful coadjutor, Miss Towne, was followed by the 
happiest results. Letters received from Mr. Pierce, and others, 
spoke in the most grateful terms of our "opportune and judicious 
gift," and a repetition of the favor was earnestly solicited. This 
was agreed to, and a new and larger invoice was forwarded, the 
dispensation of which was followed by similar eflfects. Besides 
feeding the hungry, and clothing the naked, these supplies in- 
spired the blacks with new confidence, proving to them, beyond 
question, the existence of a disposition and power on the part of 
the people of the North to befriend them. 

The Committee had still resources at their command, in their 
treasury and in the good will of the people ; but the proper dis- 
position to be made of them was a point which they were at a 
loss to determine. What was it that the people most needed ? 
Was it food for the body or aliment for the mind ? Was it moral 
or material aid ? Were more teachers required, and if so, with what 
qualifications should they come ? To answer these questions 
aright it was necessary that some one connected with the Gov- 
ernment should undertake a tour of personal inspection. The 
task devolved on the writer of this report; who accordingly 
made a visit to the Islands ; saw the people — in their huts ; at 



5 

school ; in clmrcli ; at work in the fields : conferred with 
teachers, superintendents, and others, including military and na- 
val men of high and low degree, and came home with the infor- 
mation needed for the Committee's purpose. This information was 
laid before the Committee and its effect was a new impulse given to 
their operations. An addition was at once made to the corps of 
teachers already in the field ; new superintendents, to fill a re- 
quisition made by General Saxton, were selected, and steps were 
taken to establish on the islands a store, for the sale, to the blacks, 
of needed and useful articles. This latter measure was deemed 
necessary for the protection of their unsophisticated people from 
the gross extortions to which tliey were subject from army and 
other traders. It was strongly recommended by General Saxton, 
who desired that the Philadelphia Committee should assume the 
responsibility of conducting it. 

The Committee have now in their employment six teachers, all 
females, exclusively devoted to their work, and on their books the 
names of ten superintendents, whose co-operation as voluntary 
instructors, as occasion offers, and in other ways, they regard as 
of much value. A recent marriage at Beaufort Headquarters 
has taken from under their care one of the most valued teachers, 
but they rejoice in the belief that the lady of whose services they 
are thus deprived has been transferred to a larger sphere of use- 
fulness. 

The store, so strongly recommended, has been established, and 
with a capital sufficient for its present purposes. It is under the 
charge of Mr. John Hunn, late of Sussex county, Delaware ; a 
gentleman well reputed for his probity and general worth. Mr. 
Hunn consents to serve the Commiitee in this capacity at a mod- 
erate salary, finding his chief compensation — as is true of all 
our other employees — in the opportunities it affords him of pro- 
. moting the cause. His enterprise is completely successful, as 
may be inferred from the following extracts from the Secretary's 
correspondence : 

"Mr. Hunn's store," says Miss Towne, in a letter,dated Jan. 22, 1863, 
" appears to be in a flourishing condition, for it is always crowded. It is 
difficult to get into it some days. Warnock'S; in Eighth street, comes 
into ray mind whenever I see the hurry and crowding of the eager people 
around the counter, and the activity of Mr. H.'s family ))ehind it. Per- 



hap3 no goods gave such great pleasure as the small shoes. The pride 
of parents in the little feet, shod for the first time, was amusing. These 
people make a great distinction between their free-born and their other 
children. Nothing is too good for the former, but the latter must do with 
what they have been accustomed to." 

Mr. Hunn, himself, writes as follows : 

OaJdand Plantation, St. Helena, llth mo. IWi, 1862. 

Esteemed Friend : — Please hasten the shipment of goods requested by 
me ten days since. I have no red flannel nor any cassiuette for men 
and boys' clothes — only half a barrel of molasses, a quarter barrel of 
sugar, only half a piece of bed ticking — no hardware of any sort and but 
little crockery. 

This store is of great importance to the people of these Islands. I be- 
lieve I can sell $20,000 per year, if properly supplied with goods. Ecady- 
raade clothing, at reasonable prices, is the most saleable article in this 
region. I could sell $.500 worth of it during this week, if I had it. I 
have averaged nearly $100 per day of sales since I opened the goods. 

I am very much pleased with these people. They evince a disposition 
to avail themselves of every opportunity for improvement. I expect to 
live in this land during the remainder of my Life. 

Other extracts of the same tenor might be added, but these will 
suffice. 

The success of this store is full of suggestion. It throws light 
on the great economic problem now undergoing solution in this 
country. 

Mr. Ilunn's estimate in ]^[ovember was that his sales for the 
year would reach $20,000. Judging from his reports since, this 
estimate is below rather than above the mark. This, be it noted, 
is in a population of, say, 2500, where the wages of those of 
this number who are able to work have been scant, and the 
wants of all few. Now, if it takes §20,000 worth of northern 
goods to supply the wants of 2500 black people twelve months 
after their emancipation, it will require at this rate, to meet the 
demands of the three-and-a-half millions now in bondage, when 
they shall be emancipated, §28,000,000 ! But as the people's wages 
increase, their wants increase. What at first are regarded luxu- 
ries, soon become necessities. If §28,000,000 for the year rep- 
resent the amount of northern products likely to be demanded 
for consumption by the southern blacks, in the initial, inchoate 
stages of their freedom, how much larger will be tl e sum rec^uired 



for this purpose when these millions shall be fairly settled in the 
full enjoyment of all liberty's blessings. -The store set up by the 
Philadelphia committee, at Port Eoyal, is but an avant courier 
of other and more important establishments of the same kind yet 
to follow. The line of trade thus so auspiciously commenced 
between this city and the new South, is only a harbinger of the 
vast commerce between the two sections which is in reserve for 
the future. 

The success of the schools started by the teachers in the em- 
ployment of the committee has also been, in the highest degree, 
encouraging. The reports of all the ladies are, and have been 
from the beginning, of one tenor. Miss Ellen Murray, in a let- 
ter dated from "The Oaks/ \ plantation, November 11th, 1862, 
thus writes : 

" The whooping-cough has interfered with the school, and kept some of 
the children away, but they will soon be back. They like school too well 
to stay away any longer than is necessary. I have never seen children 
enjoy learning as they do. They exult in their new books as other chil- 
dren do iu playthings, and it is rarely that we have to complain" of inat- 
tention. My class, the most advanced of the school, are reading easily 
and rapidly through Wilson's First Reader. By way of variety, I give 
them a lesson in the Bible Readers. They are half through them, and 
read the verses readily. These books, of which we have a large number, 
are just the right kind to give to adult scholars. All the men who went 
from this plantation to join the ' S. 0. Volunteers,' begged for them, their / 
captain having promised to teach them to read. 

JVIy class have commenced to write, for which art they manifest an 
unbounded enthusiasm. But with arithmetic^ it is different, and I nearly 
despair over the multiplication table. I speak only of my own class, each 
of us being too busy to notice the classes of others. The conduct of all 
the scholars is good. No punishment of any kind has been needed in the 1 
school, beyond that of sending some of the younger ones, when talkative 1 
or inattentive, to set in a pew above. Our school is in the Baptist j 
church." 

Under date of Dec. 14th, 1862, Miss Charlotte H. Forten, 
another of our teachers, thus Avrites : 

" Every day it seems to me more wonderful how a people so long 
crushed to the earth, with intellect benumbed, as one would suppose it 
to be, can be capable of learning with such facility as many of these chil- 
dren do. I wish their enemies at the North could witness their unwea- 
ried efforts, and the great improvement which many of them make. Our 
school is quite large at present. At our last session we had a hundred 



and twenty-two. I tliiuk I can say truly, that, as a whole, they are not 
only bright and eager to le.arn, but remarkably -well behaved. In New 
England I taught only white children — the descendants of generations of 
freemen — who had been surrounded with good influences from their birth. 
Yet I can say with truth, that these poor negro children, born to slavery 
and degradation, compare, in many respects, most favorably with those 
highly- favored white children." 

We have similar testimonies from Miss Annie Heacock, Miss 
Gayner Heacock, Miss Matilda Thompson, (now Mrs. General 
Saxton,) and others ; but it is needless to insert them. 

As has been stated, the committee has at present but six teach- 
ers in the field. To meet the wants of the people, this number 
should be quadrupled. And there is no lack of candidates, for 
on the Secretary's files are the applications of some thirty to 
forty ladies, well qualified for the duty, and all eager to engage in 
the work. But we are unable to send them for want of funds. 

On the whole, the experiment of Freedom made at Port Royal, 
under the auspices of the Government, and with the aid of this 
and other similar associations, has been in an eminent degree 
satisfactory. It constitutes a conclusive argument, drawn alike 
from moral and material considerations, in favor of giving the 
negro his freedom. It demonstrates his capacity for self sup- 
port, his ready subordination to authority, and his respect for 
law. It shows that with his desire for improvement, and the 
white man's increasing disposition to aid him in his efturts he can 
and will rise in due time to the proper place of a free-raan. 

The argument which the friends of this enterprise had hoped 
to present from its pecuniary results is not so striking as at one 
time was anticipated. The yield of the cotton crop, from causes 
beyond control, namely, late planting, want of manure, and the 
worm &c. &C.,"' has disappointed expectation. Nevertlieless, the 
proceeds — in dollars and cents — have been more than sufficient to 
pay all the cost of its cultivation, while the rich harvest that has 
been gathered, in the way of proof of the black man's capacity, 
has been more than sufficient to satisfy all reasonable demands. 

The prospects for the coming year, though from the unsettled 
state of the country not flattering in an agricultural point of 
view, are in all other respects full of promise. The schools are 
well established, and likely to go on witliout interruption. The 



labor of the people — AvKich our northerners now know better how 
to direct — will be devoted chiefly to the raising of corn and other 
articles of food, and will be performed by old men, women, boys 
under age, and others not fit for military duty. 

The negro, having proved his capacity to work as a free- 
man, is now called upon to show his ability to fight as a 
soldier. Thus far in every experiment that has been made, 
the demonstration has been in his favor. The latest news 
from Port Royal has furnished fresh and striking illustra- 
tion of the fact that in war and in peace the negro and the 
white man are alike human. IMr.* Reuben Tomlinson, of this 
city, and one of our most esteemed coadjutors, in a letter dated 
March 16th, writes as follows : " These blacks are slow about 
getting into the army, but when they are once in, they fight like 
Trojans. They submit patiently to the draft, and their improve- 
ment in character and bearing when they become soldiers is so 
marked that every one notices it. Much as I regret their with- 
drawal from agriculture, and the consequent interference with 
our plans for the coming year, my faith is ;' firm that the best 
thing that can be done is to put these people into the army." Let- 
ters from ]Mr. John Heacock, Mr. William Towne, from all our 
Philadelphia superintendents, in fact, testify substantially to the 
same efi"ect. 

It will be seen by the following account current and memo- 
randa, that besides a large quantity of clothing and other need- 
ful articles, estimated in value at §8,000, the Committee has 
received as contributions to its funds, $11,581.59 in cash. Of 
this sum §4,171.60 have been applied to the purchase of food and 
clothing for gratuitous distribution, §1,230.04 to meet the sala- 
ries of storekeeper and teachers and general expenses, and |300 
as a donation to the Women's Aid Society ; leaving §5,879.95 as 
capital for the store. This capital, which of course fluctuates 
somewhat as contributions come in, and sums for general expenses 
are paid out, has served, since the 18th of September last, to 
purchase goods amounting to §15,146.43, and it thus has been 
turned over more than two and a half times in six months. And 
had ready means of shipment been always at our command, its 
movement could have been accelerated to four revolutions, at 



10 

least, wltliin the same time. The sales are all for cash, and the 
storekeeper's remittances most prompt. But room in the -weekly 
Government steamers from New York, the only regular trans- 
ports between the North and Port Royal, is often not to be had 
by the Committee, and our goods frequently lie for two and some- 
times three weeks after purchase, waiting the means or the dispo- 
sition of the government transport agent. We have availed 
ourselves of the Government coal vessels, which sail almost daily 
from this port for Port Royal, whenever we have been able to 
eflfect the proper arrangement with the masters. • These vessels, 
which are never full, ought to be allowed to afford us all the ac- 
commodation we require, as our shipments are clearly for the 
advantage of the Government. But it is very difficult to induce 
the masters to receive our goods, even at a high rate of freight, 
owing to the fear on their part that they shall contravene, by so 
doing, some of the rules and restrictions of the military authori- 
ties, here and at Port Royal, by whom these vessels are con- 
trolled. The delay arising from these causes is unfortunate, 
for it subjects the customers of the store, who in consequence of 
it are obliged to buy elsewhere, to the payment of prices fifty, 
and, in some cases, we are told, one hundred per cent, higher 
than those exacted at the store. The Committee has tried and is 
still trying to remedy these oils, and not without hopes of suc- 
cess.
